Our distillery has two gorgeous Holsten stills dedicated to the production of our white spirits range. During production our stills, Bella and Jordan, are meticulously monitored by our Distillers for key timings. We choose not to use automatic cuts but rely on the well-tuned noses of our craftsman to ensure we extract as much flavour as possible from our botanicals while maintaining the balance of a pure, clean spirit. Similar to vodka, gin is made by distilling a neutral grain alcohol from grapes, wheat, barley, or some other fruit or grain. Here’s where it deviates from vodka though. It’s then infused with herbs and botanicals, and fruits like juniper berries, orange peels, coriander, and angelica root.

This tour and tasting will show you how Manly Spirits make their gins, botanical vodka and liqueurs, from the raw ingredients to the stills and bottling.

Other stories tell of a bartender in 1860s Manhattan area creating it. Whoever you attribute it to, it’s one hell of a drink. Vanessa Wilton, creative director of Manly Spirits, added: “We set our sights on creating a gin that pushes the boundaries of deliciousness, and partnering with local artist Tegan Franks to create a label celebrating the quintessential summer flavours of mango, pineapple, and coconut and that captures the Aussie beach lifestyle, made perfect sense.” Striving for only the highest possible quality, but also driven to deliver expressions that capture the diversity of Australian botanicals, our team explores above and below the ocean surface to find that something special.

Separating Australian gin from the rest of the world, the spirits expert confirmed that there are a few common traits that are unique to the domestic market. Dash of Angostura bitters, 2 ounces Rye or Canadian Whisky, Maraschino Cherry (as a garnish), 3/4 ounces sweet Vermouth. Something like the manly version of the bloody mary. A tasty mixture of vodka, beef bouillon, lemon, tabasco sauce and worcestershire sauce. Again, the name makes up for at least 50% of what makes the manliest drinks manly. WARNING: Make sure you drink it in a regular style drinking glass. Don’t let them serve you in a frilly glass or we’ll revoke your man card! Not the top choice of drinks for taste, but any man that can down this probably has the hairy chest of a bull from the burning bite of the bloody bull. Sidecar Kind of like a Martini – well, almost exactly like a Martini aside from one ingredient, the Gibson is considered by some people to be a manly version of a Martini, we won’t go that far, but we will say that if you still have reservations about Martinis, this onion-garnished substitute might go down well. Whenever you damn well please (unless driving or at work or anything that could get you in trouble), but really, when you’re happy to embrace being yourself, which is something we should all raise a glass to.
